Ryzeal Deck #770332 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual-summon a Level 8 Reptile (Ame no Murakumo or Ame no Habakiri) or Xyz-summon a 2500+ ATK boss (Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator, Number 104, Full Armored Utopic Ray Lancer) and protect it with hand traps and negates; Overwhelm with Ryzeal Level 4 bodies (Ice Ryzeal, Ext Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal, Node Ryzeal) into Xyz summons, using Mulcharmy draw engines to grind
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Ice Ryzeal self-summon (or Ext/Sword/Node Ryzeal) or Pre-Preparation of Rites to fetch a Mitsurugi Ritual plus a Ritual monster; hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Droll for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C and Mitsurugi Great Purification to stop the opponent's board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and a Ryzeal Xyz
• Recovery: Mitsurugi Prayers, Mitsurugi Mirror and the Mitsurugi searchers (Saji, Aramasa, Kusanagi, Wousu) return Mitsurugi pieces from hand and GY; Mitsurugi Mirror can revive a Ritual monster from the GY
• After siding: No sideboard in Master Duel (side_count 0); no post-side plan applies

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with a Ryzeal or searcher line: six Ryzeal Level 4 starters give about 0.58 odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and 17 searcher-text cards make a searcher near-certain. Its engine is split across two archetypes, Ryzeal Xyz and Mitsurugi Ritual, and the Mitsurugi Ritual route needs Reptile tributes totalling Level 8 from only three Level 4 Reptiles plus a Level 8 Reptile, which caps reliable access. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: Ash Blossom x3, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse x2, Great Purification, Forbidden Droplet and Crossout Designator give several layers of negation, and Mitsurugi Murakumo destroys the opposing board on Special Summon. Mulcharmy draw engines and Mitsurugi searchers grind resources, while the Ryzeal and Ritual Xyz and Ritual bodies (2400 to 3200 ATK, Ryzeal Detonator, Number 104) supply closing power. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged; the score comes from consistency, interaction, and resource grind on the whole system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary; the profile is not blended numerically. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Engine conflict (-3); Banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*61 + 0.20*56 - 5 = 55

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered negation: Ash Blossom x3, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse x2, Great Purification and Droplet
• Ritual boss ceiling: Murakumo destroys the board on Special Summon and Habakiri gives -800 ATK
• Searcher density gives near-certain access to a searcher
• Mulcharmy draw engines punish the opponent's Summons
• Xyz bosses at 2500 to 3200 ATK with removal (Detonator, Dugares, Number 104)

Weaknesses

• Ritual route needs Reptile tributes at Level 8, and Level 4 Reptiles are only three single copies
• Ice, Ext, Sword and Node Ryzeal restrict Extra Deck Summons, which fights the Xyz plan
• Many single-copy tech and conditional slots (Triple Tactics Talent, Crossout Designator, Seventh Tachyon, Droplet, Dominus Impulse) reduce consistency
• Heavy reliance on Limited 1-of cards (Ext Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal, Mitsurugi Prayers, Maxx C)
• No sideboard, no tournament data, and no combo boards to validate the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Two Level 4 Reptiles (or Wousu) must be available for Mitsurugi Ritual; without them the Ritual Level 8 Reptile lines stall
• Ryzeal Xyz Summons need Level 4 bodies and a Xyz on the field or in the GY to reach Duo Drive or Detonator
• Seventh Tachyon depends on Number 104 in the Extra Deck, a single copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal size 40/15/0 for master-duel with no violations; Copy limits: Ame no Habakiri Semi-Limited 2/2; six Limited 1-copy cards at 1 each; Droll and Lock Bird 1 of 2; Card texts and Xyz/Ritual stats from the deck export; Hand-trap group P(at least one in 6 going second) 0.577 from the evidence
• Inferred: Starter access P about 0.58 (5 cards) and 0.65 (6 cards) for the 6 Ryzeal starters, computed from the hypergeometric draw; Interaction density (about 11 negate-text cards) read semantically from card text; Floor and ceiling inferred from text, not recorded boards; Strategy classification as Midrange with Toolbox and Stun from composition and interaction density
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D12 side deck neutral (no sideboard in Master Duel); D13 matchup and format fit neutral (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and matchup figures are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Data inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Ryzeal Detonator, Number 104, King of the Feral Imps, Number 60, Eclipse Twins, Mereologic Aggregator, Vallon, Ryzeal Duo Drive as in_this_deck false and missing_core, yet all eight are present in the Extra Deck list; core_cards_present (17 of 25) is therefore understated and was not used for scoring Deck title is null; the deck name is not available to label the writeup
